Jack Schneider showed explosive tools at the Super 60. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Murray State commit was grateful for the opportunity to display his exciting skills in front of over 110 scouts in attendance.

“It means a lot, it’s very humbling to come to an event like this. I am very happy and pleased that they invited me so I can show that I have the talent. I’m thankful.”

In addition to showing off his speed and arm strength Saturday, Schneider also showed a quick, yet raw, bat in his two rounds of batting practice.

“I get compared to Hunter Pence a lot, my favorite player,” Schneider said. “I’m a hard-nosed player. I’ll get things done out there and help the team out. If I have to bunt the ball I’ll bunt the ball. I’m not going up there looking for home runs all the time.”

Heading in to his final high school season, Schneider knows there is plenty of work to be done before the June draft.

“Stay more fluid, slow the game down and get a better game IQ, be a leader,” he said of his goals for this spring.

Schneider will be 19 and four months at the time of the draft this upcoming June, older for the prototypical high school senior. Still, with his relative inexperience and lack of exposure to high-level coaching, Schneider is a projectable talent.

Jack Schneider is a 2017 OF/RHP with a 6-3 190 lb. frame from Owensboro, KY who attends Daviess County. Large frame with a lean, athletic build and wiry strength throughout. Frame projects to support additional size and strength while maintaining athleticism. Ran a 6.16 sixty yard dash. Primary outfielder with smooth paced actions while closing on the baseball. Clean glove actions while picking up baseball with an extended, smooth paced glove to hand transfer. Huge arm strength from a mid three-quarters arm slot, topped at 98 mph. Throws creating very good carry to the bag with accuracy. Right handed hitter with a spread, straight stance. Hands load to a deep, strong position while weight shifts back. Level, line drive swing plane that flashed solid leverage through extension at times. Swings with intent creating very good bat speed through the zone with developing barrel feel. When squared, baseball jumps off barrel with very good backspin and carry to the gaps. Very projectable tools all around that will continue to improve with maturity and repetition. Good student. Committed to Murray State. Named to the 2016 Ohio Valley Showcase Top Prospect List.

As for the position players, Jack Schneider (Daviess County High, Owensboro, Ky.) broke two event records with a 6.30 time in the 60-yard dash and with a 98 mph throw during outfield drills.

If I was to guess, I'm thinking hit tool didn't stand out, but he's got the speed tool and the arm tool - worth a look to see if they can get the hit tool working (same situation as Champ Stuart). If he hit in HS, he'd probably have been a top 500 guy) - but that's pure speculation.
